What ARM core is the Snapdragon 845 based on?

I'm looking into building a custom Linux kernel for my OnePlus 6. The one bit of information I need though is what ARM core the Snapdragon 845 is based around. From doing some reading, it seems to come from the ARM Cortex M range of SoC.

Has anyone had any experience with building custom kernels for Android? I've done it on Linux before so I'm not a total newbie, but I'm interested to see how it works when cross-compiling for Android.

Can't help you much, but for this sort of stuff I'd pop over to the XDA forums. Plenty of knowledgeable people over there so you're probably more likely to get an answer.

Thanks. I'll head over there and see what people say.

SD845 cores are based on the A55 (little) and the A75 (big).

There might be a Cortex M series core in there somewhere but they are not designed to be application processors.
